Can I whine and wallow for a sec about how my birthday started out yesterday?
Blood and hair. That's what I got.
My older daughter cut her gorgeous pale mane into tufts all over the floor, and I got my period. I was gutted that her frozen queen Elsa like hair was hacked and I scrambled to do damage control, and the onset of my period didn't help my mood.

Ok whine over.
It ended well. I sing in a blues rock band and last month the guitar player and keyboard player quit. We auditioned two new ones last night and they are not only charming but talented and we are now whole again! I love writing songs.
So In the end an awesome birthday.
Belated greetings for your birthday! I'm glad your day ended on a lovely note.
 
That’s just beautiful cafecreme! What a great trip. Congratulations :flowers: now you get to plan a wedding! Can’t wait to see your dress selections!!

Also, those Missoni dresses look terrific on. I think they only look good on perfect figures! (Clapping)
And that is the nicest lazy Susan..ever.

Thank you so much!! I’m doing the first of the wedding planning this weekend when I go to register! It’s funny...my fiancé and I have no idea what to register for because we don’t want Cuisinart...we want Florentine antiques [emoji23]

Happy belated! Sorry that it didn’t start out on a good note but I’m glad it ended happily! Funny that our bdays are only 2 days apart - mine kind of got lost in the shuffle of all the other good things happening. I’ve officially moved into my new apartment; we’re still trying to get things together so it’s a work in progress, but it is coming along!

Here are a few outfits for DUT. I’m still trying to figure out where the best lighting is, in my new closet. I really dislike how LEDs are so bright but don’t illuminate as well as good old incandescents.

It seems I still prefer to carry the same bag all week even when everything is easily accessible. Oh well. Let’s not even address the footwear.

Why? I actually love your sandals, where are they from please? I do get lazy and wear the same things for a while. It’s a nice change.

They are super-comfy-for-all-day-walking Camper Micro sandals. I loved them so much I have them in Black and Caramel. If I could find back up pairs, I would buy some but they are from a few years ago. The newer ones are not as perfect height/comfort as these.

I have a closet full of sandals, but only 3-4 really comfortable ones. The rest have some issue that makes them only suitable for a short while. I've bought flats, low heel, too high heel, not enough padding - it's a shoe graveyard.

Sounds like me. I really only wear about 3-4 prs regularly. I keep buying shoes and end up taking them back, or they hang around my closet for literally years before I donate them.

Thanks! I love it, and will not get much use in winter, so it's nice to have a bright pop of orange with my outfits.

I have sold some on ebay - gorgeous manolos, gucci etc that were so painful to wear that they were jut taking up space in my closet.

Yeah I know what you mean. Comfortable shoes are a true rarity nowadays.

That’s my resolution. No more uncomfortable shoes. They are not worth it, I’m just not wearing them, no matter how Im convincing myself that it’s ok, they will stretch, it’s hurting only a little bit etc. They are sitting in my closet as I keep avoiding them by all means.
That’s it. No torturing my feet, no wasting money on something unwearable. No more uncomfortable shoes!!!

I agree. I almost popped for an interesting pair of Chanel mule boots. To explain, the shoe is a mule and backless, but the front looks like a boot. The problem wasn't the heel, it was the top of the shoe which was such rigid hard leather with no give that I thought that wearing it for a while would not be a fun thing. I can look back to a time when I would have put up with that for the fashion of it. Not anymore!
